Rowdy Rockfish

location active

Current state

The Rowdy Rockfish is a two-story wooden tavern and inn in Otari, identifiable by its sign depicting a rockfish with fins raised in boxing poses [S11]. It is located at number 17 on the lower-left edge of town, and a bed costs around 8 silver pieces. Prior to the campaign's main events, the bard Veve had already performed and stayed there [S11]. The establishment is run by the Vangerdale family — an old dwarf woman and her daughter Laza [S11; S26]. After the party rescued the dwarf Lazda from captivity, the grateful family rewarded them with the sapling shield, free housing, and full parlor privileges, effectively making the Rowdy Rockfish the party's home base in Otari [S24]. The inn served as a place for the group to rest, eat, and recount their exploits; Lazda shared his captivity story over dinner here, and the party recounted killing the void glutton within its walls [S26; S27]. As the campaign progressed, the Rowdy Rockfish remained one of the party's recognized haunts in Otari — mentioned alongside the Crook & Nook as a standard meeting point when arranging contacts [S40]. As of S51, Cid was staying at the Rowdy Rockfish while other party members lodged nearby at the Crook & Nook. The inn served as a staging point during the party's frantic search for a disappearing ruby, with members shuttling between here and Menhems manor throughout the night [S51].
